TEN SECONDS OF BOLDNESS




What are the Ten Seconds of Boldness. It is the time when one gets the opportunity to say what one knows and thinks is right. Never underestimate the POWER of TRUTH. It is constantly talking to you and sending you messages. Listen to the messages.
Answer the call of action to say and do whatever takes courage to say and do. If you don’t achieve the results you want within the Ten Seconds of Boldness then –you can get right back. Chances are you’ll have success the second time round. When you join forces with others, a synergy builds and you end up with something greater than if you had done it on your own. In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one has the hand in all things essential to mutual progress

Adopt a new mindset, not just intellectually, but with a believing heart too. Often I hear people say that they really are content with the way they are living their lives. Yet, they understand why they continue to have a gnawing feeling in the pit of their stomachs, that, something is still missing or that, there is something they are supposed to be doing.

You can think of a time when you tried to talk about something important with someone, but , the conversation bombed., and you’d give anything to be able to do it all over again.

I understand this, as, I have experienced such moments. As I look back, I realize, that there were certain things I could have done differently, to make it a better conversation. However, that’s easier to say in hindsight than do in the heat of the moment.

This is the story of all Mumbaikars. You may be well aware of the conditions of our Mumbai roads. As such we Mumbaikars could be very proud of the City. We have good conveyance facilities as compared to other major cities. We have around 54 fly-overs. We have better paved roads as compared to other cities. But, we Mumbaikars do not have any civic sense.

The fear of the unknown is in all human beings. the fear of being knocked down by a motorbike always haunts. This is only because there is no law and order on the roads. Yes, it is true, everybody is in a hurry to reach “Home Sweet Home”-but not at the cost of others’ lives.
There is always parallel parking on the road on the side of Atur Park, where some cars are standing to get the tyres repaired, or some goods belonging to the shops are being unloaded, or there are people who feel like having a bite or two at the food outlets, but how can they down the food, when their wrong parking, may cost somebody else’s life.How can they endanger others’lives- at what cost.

They are waiting for a written complaint from me, to take action. Till then let it cost somebody their Life-Who cares. do they realize what is the value of a Life. Will they be able to live all their life with the guilt.
However, as I said in the beginning-What are the Ten Seconds of Boldness-
'Say what is right and true.
Lets live and let live.’

Life is beautiful. Make it secure.
A beautiful Life does not just happen.
